TESTIMONIALS

I definitely was satisfied with the flies that I purchased. Your aggravator pattern was especially effective. One evening last week, I fished the last hour or so of daylight and landed 5 rainbows and missed at least that many more. Back at the parking lot most of the other anglers were talking about how they got skunked. Thanks for a great pattern!

Callibaetis Nymph

The feather duster callibaetis might not look to a fisherman like it would work, but in fishing stillwaters during a callibaetis hatch, we have not found a better fly fishing pattern. Suspend this nymph below a strike indicator, let it sink, then occasionally twitch the line to simulate the nymph emerging upward. Sometimes the bite will occur while the nymph is suspended, in which case, your strike indicator will suddenly disappear!

Without question, the Callibaetis is the most important stillwater Mayfly in the western United States. Prolific hatches occur on reservoirs, lakes and ponds beginning in May and continuing through August. The Marabaetis Nymph is a highly effective imitation of the Callibaetis nymph as it rises through the water column to reach the surface. This pattern can be fished on a full-sink, sinking tip, or floating line below a strike indicator. Most strikes on a full-sink or sinking tip line will come with a slow retrieve as the nymph draws towards the surface; fishing this pattern below a strike indicator can be very effective if the line is slowly drawn in and then allowed to slack back out, giving the pattern an ascending-descending motion common to the natural. Fish the Marabaetis Nymph on your favorite stillwater between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. for some of the best fishing of the summer. One more piece of advice: hang on to your rod!

The poxyback callibaetis nymph is a very effective style of fly, which includes moving gills simulated with marabou and a wing case covered with epoxy that adds a sparkling realism, the poxyback callibaetis nymph is a very productive fly.
